"Iraq: Bush is being hurt very badly here. Kerry needs to shift to a position that Americans can understand: leave Iraq.

Civil liberties: Bush has shredded them, and Kerry can promise to do something about it. This would resonate well with all voters.

Free trade: Kerry should come out in favor of trade with all and against corporate welfare at the same time, thereby pleasing the merchant class and the new entrepreneurial class, and tapping into a populist message at the same time.

These four issues are all winners for the Democrats. They can be emphasized without abandoning their core issues. They would make the GOP squirm. As it is, even the people who are desperate to see Bush tossed out find nothing in Kerry to inspire confidence. Someone needs to reach this man with a dose of reality. Otherwise, the world will be stuck with another four years of a presidency that will be even worse if Bush perceives a mandate to wreck the world even more than he already has."

1. Free trade won't work

until the dollar is devalued to make it more in line with other currencies.

There is no way a US worker can compete with a third world worker whose wages translate into pennies on the dollar. No way.
